Questions??..Success Stories and My own story so far

Hi all, I'm new to this group. I have a few questions and thought i'd also share my story so far encase it ever helps anyone get some answers they didn't know they needed.

Before i start i'd like to say I'm so sorry for what everyone has been through as i myself know first hand how hard it is.

I've noticed everyone talks a lot about Blighted Ovum's here, did anyone ever get any answers about what could have caused theirs?

Also has anyone had any success with a healthy pregnancy after a blighted ovum?

My Story

Me 27- 1 child 10 years old from previous relationshipPartner 23 - no childrenTrying to conceive 2 years

Due to lack of falling pregnant my partner and i under went some tests. Mine all came back fine but my partners was bad, low count, 0% morphology but good motility.

December -2017I found out i was pregnant, Excited to have a new baby with my partner we booked up for a private early scan at 8 weeks.January -2018Arrived at the scan, they told us we were only measuring 5-6 weeks but there was two sacks (Twins). Having not been tracking anything we thought we may have miscalculated our dates and could have been earlier then we thought.A week later we went back to the same private scan place, this is where the bad news began. They told us one of the sacs was filled with blood and neither had grown like they should have, we were to expect to miscarry as nothing could be seen in either sack.A few days later we had another scan at local hospital, I still hadn't bleed or wasn't in any pain. They told us then that 1 of the sacks had collapsed but again could see nothing in the remaining sack, was told to come back another week later. That week later again empty sac and the collapsed sac was still there too.The nurses talked me through everything and I choose to have an MVA, the day i was booked to have the MVA i started to miscarry naturally but because i was already booked they continued with the procedure as i couldn't bare to continue a non-viable pregnancy with all the symptoms and no baby/s (I should have been 11 weeks at this point)March- 2018Fell pregnant again to end up having a chemical pregnancyApril- 2018Miscarriage at 6 weeksJune- 2018Pregnant again, at this point we were loosing hope. I made it to 6 weeks and everything seemed ok, 7th week i got awful pains and was rushed from docs via ambulance as they suspected Eptopic. Luckily it wasn't, but it was another miscarriage.

After all of this i decided to go back on the pill to prevent anymore pregnancy's and for my body to recover a bit before we tried again. I stayed on the pill for 3 months then came back off again.

More tests were done on both of us due to recurrent miscarriages. All my blood work came back fine, and my partners blood work came back fine, but again partners seamen analysis was bad, there was no change.

Doctors explained to us that there can be a link between bad morphology and blighted ovum/missed miscarriage. Something to do with the sperm not being good enough so the female body just doesn't allow anything to develop.We decided to do something about it. My partner quit smoking, cut out caffeine and i put him on a daily intake of vitamins etc, after 3 months of this he re-done his seamen analysis. IMPROVEMENT... His count had doubled, his motility was still good and his morphology was 1% (not amazing, but change) average is 4%.

December- 20181 week before AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) was due i felt ridiculously tired and a bit sicky so i done a test, there it was another positive, faint but there, I waited a few days and took a FRER and it was blazing both dark pink lines.Which brings me to today. I'm due on 9th, but i'm still getting positives. So i'm hoping this could be it, pregnant again. But I'm so worried. None of these recent pregnancy's have ended well, is this going to be the same. Am i going to miscarry again, will this be another blighted ovum?

If AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) doesn't arrive on the 9th then i will phone EPU and hopefully they'll book us in for an early scan to see if anything is developing or not, it's just such a long wait away as im barely even 4 weeks.
